Indeed, this sort of Flash/Flex-based application is on the
table...but, I find this a bit like mystery meat navigation. More specifically,
I have been in touch with developers of Mindomo (http://www.mindomo.com) for use in EoL’s
WorkBench environment using Adobe’s AIR for a desktop/web hybrid. Mind
maps, tied down with Semantic Web technologies like that used in MindRaider (http://mindraider.sourceforge.net/index.html)
are what I’m aiming for.

Subject: RE: [tdwg] Interesting example of tree navigation
WOW!! Very slick!!! EoL should be all over this!
I would say the whole page is a useful model -- not just the tree
part (by which I assume you meant the "Project Process" tile). The
whole approach to organizing and presenting (i.e., zoom & pan) information
is wonderful! It took a little "getting-used-to", but once I
got the hang of it, I really liked it.
I gather that it's Flash? (I mean in the Macromedia/Adobe sense
... I already know it's "Flash" in the slang sense.)
A little sluggish -- but well worth it, I think.
Aloha,
